DAMARISCOTTA — “The Little Holiday Show” at the Kefauver Studio and Gallery offers original art for holiday giving that suits every budget. The show runs through Jan. 2.

The most affordable art in the show is arguably the most unique. Sherie Lehman turned her photographs into refrigerator magnets, displayed on an actual refrigerator panel. A holiday tree in the gallery is decorated with ornaments from four artists: Kathi Nordone created “chipadees,” tiny circles of wood with paintings on them, and Kathleen Horst has original matted watercolors hung on ribbons.

Keeping the holidays all in the family, both Will Kefauver and daughter Justine Kefauver have created ornaments for the tree. Will has original oils for sale, and Justine has tiny hand-knitted hats hung on hemp string.
In a low-price range, gallery visitors will find oils by Beth Badger; photographs by Sherie Lehman and Laurie Raba; watercolors by Dudley Merritt (unframed), Kathleen Horst, Jan Kilburn, Judy Nixon, and Cindy Spencer; and linocut prints by Rachel Wyman.

Shoppers looking for a gift in the medium price range will find acrylics by DiTa Ondek; oils by George Baker, Lisa Kyle, Brooke Pacy, Sandra Dunn, and Barbara Vanderbilt; photographs and gouache paintings by Jane Bowman, photographs by Jim Nyce; watercolors by Jan Kilburn and Dudley Merritt; and linocut prints by Deborah Kozak.

Will Kefauver has original oils and prints in “The Little Holiday Show.” He is president of the Pemaquid Group of Artists, and is a Signature Member of the National Society of Artists and the Bristol Road Galleries in Damariscotta.

Kefauver Studio is located at 144 Bristol Road, and is open from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily. For more information, visit www.kefauverstudio.com.
